Colorful Cacti Garden

Growing up, I had a tiny little cactus plant in my room. I lovingly cared for it as I listened to Kenny Rogers belt out The Gambler on my little blue record player. My cactus was planted in vibrantly colored sand in the clear glass vase. It grew happily for a long time until one fateful day, it shriveled up and died. Since then, I’ve been a shell of my former self.

But no more!

Because now I have three cacti – moon cacti to be exact and they are fun and colorful and easy to care for.

The magic of grafting – a moon cactus is a small grafted cactus which means the gardener takes two different cacti, cuts them and grows them together to create one plant. The top part of the moon cactus doesn’t have chlorophyll (which makes plants turn green) so these beauties turn different shades of yellow, orange and red and pink.

Ok , Kelly – it getting scary with us! Same name, same blue record player, same cactus! ( I was listening ti Cher though – Gypsies Tramps & Thieves over & over. Interesting to learn how the tops are so vibrant! Glad to have joined this fabulous group!
